[Zope] Newbie alert! Frustration right off the bat...

2000-06-13 Thread Rob Brandt

and so it starts...

I'm determined to learn zope for my   next project and can't even get 
past the tutorial.

Using zope v.2.16 on windows.

I get to the part where I create the 1st DTML method (index_html) and 
  zope reports an error:

Error Type: Bad Request
Error Value: the id index_html is invalid - it is already in use.

This is in a virtually empty system.  I suspect that the problem is in 
initializing the tuturial.  I suspect further that the tutorial text and 
graphic figures don't jibe.

The beginning of the tutorial says to create the ZAcme folder under my 
root installation.  I take this to mean at the main manage entry point, 
rather than my literal root directory (as it says further down the 
page).  When I do this, the ZAcme folder shows up in the workspace but 
the illustrations don't show this.  I continue along and end up getting 
the above error.

I also tried manually creating folders in my actual root directory (C:\) 
and in the zope directory (C:\Program Files\ZAcme) and I get the above 
error every time.

Help!

TIA

Rob

Sure enough, that does it.  There's an index_html showing on the screen 
shot in the tutorial too, just like my installation.

Thanks

Yep, that was it, thanks.
